Atari Brings RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 to Google Play

Atari has published RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 to Google Play for Android devices, allowing players the opportunity to become the world’s best roller coaster creator. In the game, you play as an amusement park owner who must build the greatest park the world has ever known, and the game gives you plenty of coasters and attractions to do so.

While building your dream park, you will need to keep folks in attendance happy. If lines are too long, rides are too intense, or the park has no bathrooms, people won’t be very impressed.

To sum it up, you need to use your skills to create things that everyone will love, while also making it a safe and exciting experience for the people who pay to enter. In terms of being a simulation game, the process is quite intense.

The best part? It’s free to download from Google Play, but beware the IAPs.

“The best part? It’s free to download from Google Play, but beware the IAPs.”

That makes it the worst part. I’d rather buy it once and do with it that I wish instead of getting it for ‘free’ and being hounded to keep spending money over and over. IAPs FTL.

I don’t mind IAPs, but all the social garbage where you have to share and have friends, that’s what really sucks. Like it’s some kind of Farmville.

Agreed. Back in the Farmville days I actually had dummy accounts setup so I didn’t have to spam people. They market it as social gaming but what it really is, is them saying “we don’t get enough money from just you so go advertise our stuff for us to get other people to give us money.”

I hate that nearly every app/game are starting to implement IAPs. Give me the option to pay £5 and be able to play a basic game without messing with coins and all the usual rubbish. After that, there should be options to purchase more if you really want. I haven’t downloaded any games that I fancy in months because of IAPs. It’s really frustrating.

Money Island for £3 or something is a bargain and I love those games. RCT was one of my childhood loves but there’s no chance in hell that I will be playing this. You don’t even have paths or queue lines to start with??!

The reviews make my brain hurt. Tons of “2 star: The update broke it, now it crashes on me every 3 minutes.” All the 4/5 star reviews have no comments, except for a few that baffle me:
4-star: “It goes too slow and always stops responding. But if you fix these I will give you 5 star!”
5-star: “…they proberly(sic) have launched the game abit(sic) to(sic) early… …it keeps clossing(sic) everytime(sic) I touch the screen”

Do some people not understand how stars work?

I use to make all the rides free and charge a high admission. Once the park was packed I would delete the entrance/exit and start charging for the rides. Customers had no choice but to spend their money or walk around aimlessly looking for an exit that no longer existed.

I’d always pack a walkway full of people, then build a roller coaster that ended abruptly right where the path started so the train would go off track and plow through all the people sending them flying everywhere.

Well, there goes my battery life. Looking good on the LG G3 though.

Works well and doesn’t seem to eat up too much battery on my M8. RCJH btw!!

“The best part? It’s free on Google play.” No, that is far from the best part.

Free to download.
To use in any decent capacity – – – GIVE US YOUR MONEY!

Eagerly waiting for the big boy, desktop version…

Wouldn’t mind IAP if you could also just pay a standard upfront price and get the full unlocked game.

Completely agreed. We do wish devs would implement that type of deal. Like a $10 pay once deal, get everything unlocked. The way things are now for popular mobile games, it’s total BS.

Seriously, did anyone else catch the mockery EA did to fifa 15? 🙁

One of my biggest gripes is you can’t mod the game without it being ‘stealing.’ When I buy a computer game, I like to beat it as intended then go back and have fun with stuff like infinite health, unlimited funds, etc…. but since that’s what you buy with IAPs, it’s now considered stealing when you want the fun of unlimited assets since that’s what you pay for. I’d rather buy the game for $10 or w/e and get to use a modified version as I see fit.

i am praying the IAP dont kill the game. i dont mind waiting for things to build to an extent, but when you absolutley need to pay money to actually enjoy the game, thats when I chalk it up as a loss

Don’t worry, they will kill it with IAPs. Especially a struggling, greedy and desperate developer like Atari.
